Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
August eleventh.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ Holmes. Weapons don't tell
us what happened. It did really well. A bunch of
you all know what we're talking about with this movie
Ropes Day, Gangbusters. I'm happy for it. Another horror movie
number one.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yes, we're so excited.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Everyone else is catching on to what we've been preaching
for years now.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Horror movies are awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We will get into just how will that movie did
this weekend? Why is everybody making a big deal? President
Trump wants to redecorate the place a little bit. He's
gonna be living there for the next couple of years.
He doesn't want to walk into his front door and
have to look at Barack Obama the whole time.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Okay, well, every other president has managed to do so,
but apparently it's not sitting well with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So he's moved some things around, Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Some portraits in particular. We'll get into this hilarious story
and what an incredible and cool discovery that was only
made possible by that devastating flooding Rode. This is the
last thing I would have thought about, but this is
pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, the floodwaters unearthed literally dinosaur fossils that had been
hidden for millions of years now discovered because of those floodwaters.
It's you hate to even say a silver lining because
it was such a horrific tragedy, but it is a
cool story that came out of just the unthinkable.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, we'll get into the details of that and remind
you to your folks, pick up your phones right now.
Take a look at that Apple podcast app at the
top right corner. It'll say follow. Just click on that.
You can keep up with all of our updates here
on Amy and TJ podcast. Also on the run this morning,
and we intentionally wanted to start with some of the
lighter stuff because it really is kind of a string
of devastating events and stories we'll get into this morning,
(01:50):
including the wildfires out west, the flooding in Minnesota, shooting
at the CDC, Israel admitting to targeting and killing journalists,
and also a shocking sports tragedy two boxers dead after
fighting at the same event.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Will get to all that, Plus the meeting is on
between Trump and Putin, but will there be a third
wheel to that meeting. A press conference scheduled for this
morning at the White House, the topic the.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Future of Washington, DC, and.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Thankfully that Montana manhunt has finally ended.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And also I do believe Robes. It's fair to say
my favorite story of the morning has to do with
something that never has been seen in football and the
history of football. The longest field goal ever made seventy
yards and it does not count.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh but everyone will remember, uh maybe might not go
in the history books.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yes, we will explain that and the Arkansas connection to.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That story as wow, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
All right, but we begin the run in DC this morning,
where a press conference is scheduled for this morning at
the White House, where President Trump is expected to lay
out his plan, in his words, to make the capital
safer and more beautiful, or.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
As his critics call it, his plan to federally take
over Washington, d C. The White House increased federal law
enforcement patrols in the capitol last week after the President
said a former DOGE staffer was beaten in an attempted
carjacking on truth Social Over the weekend, the President said
a key part of his plan to make DC safer
(03:24):
is to get the homeless out.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Here's what the President wrote. The homeless have to move
out immediately. We will give you places to stay, but
far from the capital. The criminals, you don't have to
move out. We're going to put you in jail where
you belong. It's all going to happen very fast. Just
like the border. We went from millions pouring in to
zero in the last few months. This will be easier.
Be prepared. There will be no mister nice guy. We
(03:49):
want our capital back.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We have to pay attention to that, because we say
here how many times? Yeah, pay attention. He usually does
what he says he's going to do, so he has
an all cap no more mister nice guy. I don't
exactly know what that could mean.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, he's a follow through kind of guy. We know
that much.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
All right, Well that press conference, all eyes on the
White House. It'll be ten am this morning. And again,
can he do this? You can't just take over a city.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Congress gave Washington DC certain powers. They could vote their
own mayor their own city council. There are some emergency
clauses where the president could take over law enforcement there,
but this does not rise to the level.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
All Right, Next up on the run, the summit is
set for Friday, but should they set the table for
two or for three? President Trump and Russian President Putin
are scheduled for a face to face meeting in Alaska Friday.
This is a highly anticipated meeting and it's a key
step towards ending that three year war with Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
But the White House is reportedly still mowing the possibility
of extending an invitation to Ukrainian President Zelenski, which of
course would be huge ropes to have these three together.
At this point, the meeting between Trump and Putin at
least is on for Friday. This would be the first
meeting between the leaders of our respective countries since Biden
(05:09):
met with Putin back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
All Right, Next up on the run, We're gonna head
to Gaza, where four Al Jazeera journalists had been killed
in an Israeli airstrike, including a prominent correspondent who Israel
admits to targeting in the attack.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah. The Israeli Defense Forces said in a statement that
it killed a nas Al Sharif, claiming Sharif was posing
as a journalist while heading a Hamas cell involved in
rocket attacks against Israeli targets, an allegation that both Sharif
and Al Jazeera had repeatedly denied.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
A total of seven people were killed in the Israeli
airstrike on a tent housing reporters in Gaza City.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Eight others were wounded.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Sharif was one of the best known journalists in the area.
He had millions of social media followers, and he had
just posted minutes before his death well.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
The Committee to Protect Journalists had recently made public appeal
for protection of Sharif after it accused Israel of launching
a smear campaign against him. The organization has said it
was gravely worried about Sharif's safety. The organization said at
least one hundred and eighty six journalists have been killed
since the beginning of the Israel Gaza.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
War, and by the way, among that one hundred and
eighty six journalists killed, more than one hundred and seventy
of them were Palestinian journalists all.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Right next up on the run.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Massive flooding and severe storms wreaked havoc in the Midwest
over the weekend. One person died and there were dozens
of rescues As nearly a foot of rain fell across
Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, Milwaukee was hardest hit. Flooding canceled the last day
of the Wisconsin State Fair. That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It is a really big deal in those parts.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It goes well, I think a week and a half.
It's been around for one hundred years. That is a
big deal. So city officials say there were more than
sixty five water rescues. Dozens rescued from in or on
top of their vehicles. In Nebraska, one person died, another
seriously injured when heavy rain and wind toppled a tree
that fell into their vehicle.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
The floodwaters also damaged a Nebraska prison that forced officials
to relocate all of the inmates, and the threat of
more rain continues today. A floodwatch is in effect in
Milwaukee through later this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
We'll continue on the run now, and police say the
man who killed a police officer after opening fire on
the CDC Friday blamed the COVID vaccine for his depression
and for making him suicidal.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Thirty year old Patrick White has been identified as this shooter.
Police say he tried to get into the centers for
Disease Control and open fire on several buildings at the
sprawling Atlanta campus, but wasn't able to actually get inside well.
He then headed into a nearby CVS, where police engaged
the suspect in a shootout.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
White died at the scene, but they haven't confirmed at
this point if it was an officer who actually shot him,
or if White killed himself the first person to encounter him.
Robes shouldn't mention the officer's name, David Rose, thirty two,
thirty three years old, And it just reminded us of
what just happened here in New York not too long ago,
(08:06):
officer was killed in a shooting. This officer married two kids,
one on the way, and the officer here I think
had one or was it two?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, he had one on the way, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
One on the way. So I just that I'll get
that detail. There's just any officer's death is devastating. But
to to hear some of that stuff just swander still
mentioned officer David Rose. A lot of folks down in
that community thinking about him.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, incredibly sad there all right. Next up on the run.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Thousands of people have been evacuated, including an entire prison,
as wildfires continue to spread in both Colorado and California.
The Lee Fire in Colorado is now one of the
largest wildfires in the state's history, bringing more than one
hundred thousand acres.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Two counties have been evacuated, including nearly two hundred inmates
from the Rifle Correctional Center. More than a thousand firefighters
are battling this thing about two hundred and fifty miles
west of Denver, and right now it's just seven percent contained. Meantime,
in southern California, the Canyon Fire has forced thousands of
evacuations and destroyed seven structures near the La and Ventura
(09:11):
county line.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The three firefighters have been injured fighting that fire, which
has now consumed nearly six thousand acres. And further north,
the state's largest fire of the year, still raging on,
the Gifford Fire, has destroyed nearly one hundred and twenty
thousand acres. This is near Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties. It's just twenty one percent contained, and unfortunately,
the weather is not cooperating in.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Either of these states.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Both of these states are going to have hot, dry conditions.
Some of these temperatures and the hundreds that's so tough
for firefighters battling these fires.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right, we will continue on our run now in Montana,
where the manhunt there is finally over. Forty five year
old Michael Paul Brown was finally taken into custody exactly
one week after police say he shot and killed four
people at a local bar.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Tips led police to Brown, just a few miles from
where the shooting happened. The gouver of Montana said it
was a herculean effort by hundreds of law enforcement to
finally flush him out of hiding. Right now, police still
do not have a motive for the shooting, which killed
a female bartender and three male patrons.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We Brown's family said the bartender had been an oncology
nurse who who was close to the family. She was
a close family friend, helped Brown's mother when she was sick.
Bar owners from across the state this is nice here, ropes.
They've pledged to donate part of their sales to contribute
to a fund set up for the victim's family. That's
a very nice time.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I wanted to include that because, yeah, the police say
right now, they just this is a guy who the
locals knew he was unstable, he had mental health issues,
and they believe he literally just walked in murdered four people,
some of whom he knew, for no reason whatsoever. Wow,
all right, next up on the run. A bizarre and
tragic coincidence in the sports world. This story is mind
blowing in all the worst ways. Two boxers competing on
(10:54):
the same night on this same fight card died from
injuries they both suffered during their respective fights.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And both of these fighters were twenty eight years old. Now,
this boxing event took place August second, and most people
familiar with boxing at this point, there's a fight car,
there's a main event, and then you have all these
smaller fights before it. They were both competing on that
fight car, but not fighting each other. But Shigatoshi Katari
collapsed that night, not long after his twelve round bout
(11:25):
and underwent emergency brain surgery for a subdual himatola. He
then died on Friday, That was six days after the fight.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Hiromasu Urikawa died the next day. He had also suffered
the same injury as subdural himatoma after his knockout loss
on that same night.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And if you're.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Running what a subdural hematoma is it's blood that collects
between the brain and the skull, and as you can
see here from these stories, it can often prove to
be fatal.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And wordes I included that yes they're not unheard of
deaths and boxing certainly not high profiles. But does happen?
There was another one in Ireland I think earlier this year,
but on the same night. To have this, the statistical
improbability of something like that is just hard to calculate.
But that was a tough one. But stay with us here, folks,
(12:14):
on this Monday morning run when we come back. What
a discovery, A discovery from one hundred and fifteen million
years ago, only made possible by that devastating flooding in Texas.
Also will tell you what happened at the box office,
and as horror movie fans, we are loving this. Also
a record in football that will not stand. And why
(12:39):
is everybody upset? The President just wants to move a
few pictures around on the wall. What was a big
da Let's continue now on this Monday morning ron And
it's never been done in football before, but we saw
(12:59):
it for the first time this weekend. A seventy yard
field goal. It's the longest field goal ever made in
recorded football.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
History, and was even more incredible, it doesn't even count.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little booted the seventy yard or
this weekend during his team's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
But here's the keyword, preseason.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, because it's a preseason game. None of the stats
or the records count in the official record books. But
this is believed to be the longest field goal ever
made in any football game of any kind in any
place on the history of the planet Earth. And the
official record though, for the longest field goal we should
(13:46):
let you know, is a sixty six yard field goal
by Ravens kicker Justin Tucker in twenty twenty one. And
I say this is Arkansas connection. Cam Little was our
kicker at the University of Arkansas. And you know what,
You'll remember the big GMA three special we did and
I was live on the field and I did a
story with a kid, the kicker, who had a special
(14:09):
needs person in his family.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I can totally remember that.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That was camt Good things happen to good people, isn't
that cool?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
He is a good, good kid. So happy to see it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's awesome, all right, congratulations, and it counts on in
our heads, in our minds, and in our hearts.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Next up on the run, the box office is back
and Weapons is on top. The highly rated horror movie
brought in forty two point five million dollars domestically seventy
million worldwide.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
All right, now, we're going to add another seventy dollars
to it tomorrow. This marks the second time this year
an original horror movie was number one of the box office.
Of course, we'll remember Cinners that was in April. It
made forty five million in its first weekend. Now, this
marks a major win for Warner Brothers Pictures, which distributed
both Weapons and Sinners.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So we say yay, more original horror movies, please, because
we will show up, and apparently so will the rest
of America. Coming in at number two a wildly different genre,
Disney's family friendly sequel Freakier Friday, brought in twenty nine million,
and that actually set a record. Freak Youer Friday is
now the top August opening ever in the history of
the box office for a PG or G rated film.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Did you see the original I? Did you did okay.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, I like all those silly movies.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
How many years ago was that one? A lot?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis right, they were both
still in it now they're back. I I think it's
like twenty three years. Yeah, she was young, it was
her mom and yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
All right. Also this weekend, The Fantastic four First Steps
came in number three in its third weekend in theaters,
followed by Bad Guys Too and The Naked Gun and
good news for the box office up seven and a
half percent from this time last year.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's a big deal, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Next up on the run, cool history came out of
those devastating floods in Texas last month. All that floodwater
washed away enough sediment sediment in Travis County it made
it possible to discover dina tracks.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You go back to a Texas accident, I did a
little bit there.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Enough of that sentiment get moved round.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Need cement truck to pull all that stuff out. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The Sheriff's office down there says volunteers found these dinosaur
tracks last week on private property. They found at least
fifteen of them each measures between eighteen to twenty inches.
The locals aren't relying on their own layman's knowledge of
dinosaurs for this information. They actually did bring in paleontologists
who confirmed the prince and said they date back one
(16:32):
hundred and fifteen million years.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
They even went as far as identifying what type of
dinosaur it was. I'll give this a college try.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Here.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It was a thirty five foot carnivore similar to and
a krakenthosaurus.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Do you have a better way of saying that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Acrocanthosaurus.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
There you go. That sounds good, more correct.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I had to breathe for a second.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well, thank you, thank God for you. Other prints might
belong to a Poluxisaurus.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
There you go. According that's the official state dinosaur of Texas.
In case you were wondering.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Okay, am I the only one that had no idea
that states have official dinosa.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I knew they had official birds, yes, but not dinosaurs states.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Most of them have this. I had no idea because
they discovered some dinosaur in that state and they have
an official Ours is the Arkansaurus. I kid you, not
in New York, in Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Okay, that makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
When you said hours, I was like, wait, what why
would that you'd have an Arkansas connection to your dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Okay, got go find a leg of the run.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Let's move on.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well. President Trump continues to freshen up the place. He
hasn't been shy a all about putting his own touches
on the White House. The rollers gardens got renovations, a
new ballroom has just been announced, and now he's moved some.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Artwork around, namely a portrait of former President Barack Obama.
It's now been relocated to a much, much, much less
prominent place in the White Else It used to be
displayed in the grand entryway to the White House, where
thousands of visitors passed by it each and every day.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
So the Obama portrait now has been relocated to the
top of the Grand staircase. That sounds like a nice position.
It does right top with the Grand staircase, but it's
in a secure area that's only accessible for secret service,
first family, and some staff. So nobody in the public
is going to get to see this thing. So protocol
and precedent, as they say, determines that the most recent
(18:27):
presidents get the most prominent spots. Portraits of both former
President Bush were also relocated to less prominent positions.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Former President Biden's official White House portrait is not ready yet,
but can't wait to see where Trump might put that one.
By the way, just out of curiosity, what replaced the
Obama portrait and that very prominent position at the White
House entry that thousands of visitors see each and every day.
Which one is it?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's the portrait of him with his fists in the
air being whisked away by Secret Service after that assassination
attempt in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Blood on his face, coming out of his ear.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
That one the power. It's there, fist up in the air.
That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Very very It's a really prominent spot when you walk
in the Whitehouse, and that's what's there now. But all right,
on this Monday, something we would like for you to
consider as you go about your Monday. It's our quote
of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Be miserable or motivate yourself whatever has to be done.
It's always your choice, is bro You know what, I
actually found this in Monday morning quotes because you know,
maybe Monday you're it sets the tone for the rest
of the week.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
This comes from Wayne Dyer. An amazing, amazing I.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Don't know if he's a philosopher, but he's certainly a
self help guru that a lot of folks, and he's
since passed, but a lot of folks today that you hear,
use his words and his wisdom in part of their teachings,
and so he always has some wonderful nuggets to think on.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
What if you'd go about your day with that quote, Yeah,
be miserable, motivate yourself, whatever has to be done. It's
always your choice. Thank you for that, mister Wayne Dyer.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Love that all right, and we also want to thank
you for listening. But before we let you go, want
to direct you. If you have a chance today, jump
onto Yahoo, go to the Live section and our weekly
relationship advice colin. A new one is out today, as
it is every Monday, and this week our reader writes
in that he's in his thirties, never had a meaningful
(20:27):
relationship despite putting himself out there for years, he says
he always gets friend zoned. Does that sound familiar? Well, anyway,
as love just keeps passing him by, he asks us
what he can do. So we'd love for you to
read it, check out our advice, and then feel free
to leave a comment with your advice because we'll feature
that in.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
A podcast later this week.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So thank you for listening to all of that, and
thank you for running with us on this Monday.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm Amy Robot and on TJ.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Holmes. We'll see y'all soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
August eleventh.

I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ Holmes. Weapons don't tell
us what happened. It did really well. A bunch of
you all know what we're talking about with this movie
Ropes Day, Gangbusters. I'm happy for it. Another horror movie
number one.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yes, we're so excited.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Everyone else is catching on to what we've been preaching
for years now.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Horror movies are awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We will get into just how will that movie did
this weekend? Why is everybody making a big deal? President
Trump wants to redecorate the place a little bit. He's
gonna be living there for the next couple of years.
He doesn't want to walk into his front door and
have to look at Barack Obama the whole time.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Okay, well, every other president has managed to do so,
but apparently it's not sitting well with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So he's moved some things around, Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Some portraits in particular. We'll get into this hilarious story
and what an incredible and cool discovery that was only
made possible by that devastating flooding Rode. This is the
last thing I would have thought about, but this is
pretty remarkable.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, the floodwaters unearthed literally dinosaur fossils that had been
hidden for millions of years now discovered because of those floodwaters.
It's you hate to even say a silver lining because
it was such a horrific tragedy, but it is a
cool story that came out of just the unthinkable.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, we'll get into the details of that and remind
you to your folks, pick up your phones right now.
Take a look at that Apple podcast app at the
top right corner. It'll say follow. Just click on that.
You can keep up with all of our updates here
on Amy and TJ podcast. Also on the run this morning,
and we intentionally wanted to start with some of the
lighter stuff because it really is kind of a string
of devastating events and stories we'll get into this morning,
(01:50):
including the wildfires out west, the flooding in Minnesota, shooting
at the CDC, Israel admitting to targeting and killing journalists,
and also a shocking sports tragedy two boxers dead after
fighting at the same event.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Will get to all that, Plus the meeting is on
between Trump and Putin, but will there be a third
wheel to that meeting. A press conference scheduled for this
morning at the White House, the topic the.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Future of Washington, DC, and.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Thankfully that Montana manhunt has finally ended.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And also I do believe Robes. It's fair to say
my favorite story of the morning has to do with
something that never has been seen in football and the
history of football. The longest field goal ever made seventy
yards and it does not count.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh but everyone will remember, uh maybe might not go
in the history books.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yes, we will explain that and the Arkansas connection to.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That story as wow, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
All right, but we begin the run in DC this morning,
where a press conference is scheduled for this morning at
the White House, where President Trump is expected to lay
out his plan, in his words, to make the capital
safer and more beautiful, or.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
As his critics call it, his plan to federally take
over Washington, d C. The White House increased federal law
enforcement patrols in the capitol last week after the President
said a former DOGE staffer was beaten in an attempted
carjacking on truth Social Over the weekend, the President said
a key part of his plan to make DC safer
(03:24):
is to get the homeless out.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Here's what the President wrote. The homeless have to move
out immediately. We will give you places to stay, but
far from the capital. The criminals, you don't have to
move out. We're going to put you in jail where
you belong. It's all going to happen very fast. Just
like the border. We went from millions pouring in to
zero in the last few months. This will be easier.
Be prepared. There will be no mister nice guy. We
(03:49):
want our capital back.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We have to pay attention to that, because we say
here how many times? Yeah, pay attention. He usually does
what he says he's going to do, so he has
an all cap no more mister nice guy. I don't
exactly know what that could mean.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, he's a follow through kind of guy. We know
that much.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
All right, Well that press conference, all eyes on the
White House. It'll be ten am this morning. And again,
can he do this? You can't just take over a city.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Congress gave Washington DC certain powers. They could vote their
own mayor their own city council. There are some emergency
clauses where the president could take over law enforcement there,
but this does not rise to the level.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
All Right, Next up on the run, the summit is
set for Friday, but should they set the table for
two or for three? President Trump and Russian President Putin
are scheduled for a face to face meeting in Alaska Friday.
This is a highly anticipated meeting and it's a key
step towards ending that three year war with Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
But the White House is reportedly still mowing the possibility
of extending an invitation to Ukrainian President Zelenski, which of
course would be huge ropes to have these three together.
At this point, the meeting between Trump and Putin at
least is on for Friday. This would be the first
meeting between the leaders of our respective countries since Biden
(05:09):
met with Putin back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
All Right, Next up on the run, We're gonna head
to Gaza, where four Al Jazeera journalists had been killed
in an Israeli airstrike, including a prominent correspondent who Israel
admits to targeting in the attack.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah. The Israeli Defense Forces said in a statement that
it killed a nas Al Sharif, claiming Sharif was posing
as a journalist while heading a Hamas cell involved in
rocket attacks against Israeli targets, an allegation that both Sharif
and Al Jazeera had repeatedly denied.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
A total of seven people were killed in the Israeli
airstrike on a tent housing reporters in Gaza City.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Eight others were wounded.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Sharif was one of the best known journalists in the area.
He had millions of social media followers, and he had
just posted minutes before his death well.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
The Committee to Protect Journalists had recently made public appeal
for protection of Sharif after it accused Israel of launching
a smear campaign against him. The organization has said it
was gravely worried about Sharif's safety. The organization said at
least one hundred and eighty six journalists have been killed
since the beginning of the Israel Gaza.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
War, and by the way, among that one hundred and
eighty six journalists killed, more than one hundred and seventy
of them were Palestinian journalists all.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Right next up on the run.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Massive flooding and severe storms wreaked havoc in the Midwest
over the weekend. One person died and there were dozens
of rescues As nearly a foot of rain fell across
Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, Milwaukee was hardest hit. Flooding canceled the last day
of the Wisconsin State Fair. That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It is a really big deal in those parts.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It goes well, I think a week and a half.
It's been around for one hundred years. That is a
big deal. So city officials say there were more than
sixty five water rescues. Dozens rescued from in or on
top of their vehicles. In Nebraska, one person died, another
seriously injured when heavy rain and wind toppled a tree
that fell into their vehicle.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
The floodwaters also damaged a Nebraska prison that forced officials
to relocate all of the inmates, and the threat of
more rain continues today. A floodwatch is in effect in
Milwaukee through later this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
We'll continue on the run now, and police say the
man who killed a police officer after opening fire on
the CDC Friday blamed the COVID vaccine for his depression
and for making him suicidal.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Thirty year old Patrick White has been identified as this shooter.
Police say he tried to get into the centers for
Disease Control and open fire on several buildings at the
sprawling Atlanta campus, but wasn't able to actually get inside well.
He then headed into a nearby CVS, where police engaged
the suspect in a shootout.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
White died at the scene, but they haven't confirmed at
this point if it was an officer who actually shot him,
or if White killed himself the first person to encounter him.
Robes shouldn't mention the officer's name, David Rose, thirty two,
thirty three years old, And it just reminded us of
what just happened here in New York not too long ago,
(08:06):
officer was killed in a shooting. This officer married two kids,
one on the way, and the officer here I think
had one or was it two?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, he had one on the way, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
One on the way. So I just that I'll get
that detail. There's just any officer's death is devastating. But
to to hear some of that stuff just swander still
mentioned officer David Rose. A lot of folks down in
that community thinking about him.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, incredibly sad there all right. Next up on the run.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Thousands of people have been evacuated, including an entire prison,
as wildfires continue to spread in both Colorado and California.
The Lee Fire in Colorado is now one of the
largest wildfires in the state's history, bringing more than one
hundred thousand acres.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Two counties have been evacuated, including nearly two hundred inmates
from the Rifle Correctional Center. More than a thousand firefighters
are battling this thing about two hundred and fifty miles
west of Denver, and right now it's just seven percent contained. Meantime,
in southern California, the Canyon Fire has forced thousands of
evacuations and destroyed seven structures near the La and Ventura
(09:11):
county line.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The three firefighters have been injured fighting that fire, which
has now consumed nearly six thousand acres. And further north,
the state's largest fire of the year, still raging on,
the Gifford Fire, has destroyed nearly one hundred and twenty
thousand acres. This is near Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties. It's just twenty one percent contained, and unfortunately,
the weather is not cooperating in.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Either of these states.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Both of these states are going to have hot, dry conditions.
Some of these temperatures and the hundreds that's so tough
for firefighters battling these fires.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right, we will continue on our run now in Montana,
where the manhunt there is finally over. Forty five year
old Michael Paul Brown was finally taken into custody exactly
one week after police say he shot and killed four
people at a local bar.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Tips led police to Brown, just a few miles from
where the shooting happened. The gouver of Montana said it
was a herculean effort by hundreds of law enforcement to
finally flush him out of hiding. Right now, police still
do not have a motive for the shooting, which killed
a female bartender and three male patrons.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We Brown's family said the bartender had been an oncology
nurse who who was close to the family. She was
a close family friend, helped Brown's mother when she was sick.
Bar owners from across the state this is nice here, ropes.
They've pledged to donate part of their sales to contribute
to a fund set up for the victim's family. That's
a very nice time.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I wanted to include that because, yeah, the police say
right now, they just this is a guy who the
locals knew he was unstable, he had mental health issues,
and they believe he literally just walked in murdered four people,
some of whom he knew, for no reason whatsoever. Wow,
all right, next up on the run. A bizarre and
tragic coincidence in the sports world. This story is mind
blowing in all the worst ways. Two boxers competing on
(10:54):
the same night on this same fight card died from
injuries they both suffered during their respective fights.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And both of these fighters were twenty eight years old. Now,
this boxing event took place August second, and most people
familiar with boxing at this point, there's a fight car,
there's a main event, and then you have all these
smaller fights before it. They were both competing on that
fight car, but not fighting each other. But Shigatoshi Katari
collapsed that night, not long after his twelve round bout
(11:25):
and underwent emergency brain surgery for a subdual himatola. He
then died on Friday, That was six days after the fight.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Hiromasu Urikawa died the next day. He had also suffered
the same injury as subdural himatoma after his knockout loss
on that same night.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And if you're.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Running what a subdural hematoma is it's blood that collects
between the brain and the skull, and as you can
see here from these stories, it can often prove to
be fatal.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And wordes I included that yes they're not unheard of
deaths and boxing certainly not high profiles. But does happen?
There was another one in Ireland I think earlier this year,
but on the same night. To have this, the statistical
improbability of something like that is just hard to calculate.
But that was a tough one. But stay with us here, folks,
(12:14):
on this Monday morning run when we come back. What
a discovery, A discovery from one hundred and fifteen million
years ago, only made possible by that devastating flooding in Texas.
Also will tell you what happened at the box office,
and as horror movie fans, we are loving this. Also
a record in football that will not stand. And why
(12:39):
is everybody upset? The President just wants to move a
few pictures around on the wall. What was a big
da Let's continue now on this Monday morning ron And
it's never been done in football before, but we saw
(12:59):
it for the first time this weekend. A seventy yard
field goal. It's the longest field goal ever made in
recorded football.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
History, and was even more incredible, it doesn't even count.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little booted the seventy yard or
this weekend during his team's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
But here's the keyword, preseason.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, because it's a preseason game. None of the stats
or the records count in the official record books. But
this is believed to be the longest field goal ever
made in any football game of any kind in any
place on the history of the planet Earth. And the
official record though, for the longest field goal we should
(13:46):
let you know, is a sixty six yard field goal
by Ravens kicker Justin Tucker in twenty twenty one. And
I say this is Arkansas connection. Cam Little was our
kicker at the University of Arkansas. And you know what,
You'll remember the big GMA three special we did and
I was live on the field and I did a
story with a kid, the kicker, who had a special
(14:09):
needs person in his family.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I can totally remember that.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That was camt Good things happen to good people, isn't
that cool?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
He is a good, good kid. So happy to see it.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's awesome, all right, congratulations, and it counts on in
our heads, in our minds, and in our hearts.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Next up on the run, the box office is back
and Weapons is on top. The highly rated horror movie
brought in forty two point five million dollars domestically seventy
million worldwide.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
All right, now, we're going to add another seventy dollars
to it tomorrow. This marks the second time this year
an original horror movie was number one of the box office.
Of course, we'll remember Cinners that was in April. It
made forty five million in its first weekend. Now, this
marks a major win for Warner Brothers Pictures, which distributed
both Weapons and Sinners.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So we say yay, more original horror movies, please, because
we will show up, and apparently so will the rest
of America. Coming in at number two a wildly different genre,
Disney's family friendly sequel Freakier Friday, brought in twenty nine million,
and that actually set a record. Freak Youer Friday is
now the top August opening ever in the history of
the box office for a PG or G rated film.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Did you see the original I? Did you did okay.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, I like all those silly movies.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
How many years ago was that one? A lot?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis right, they were both
still in it now they're back. I I think it's
like twenty three years. Yeah, she was young, it was
her mom and yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
All right. Also this weekend, The Fantastic four First Steps
came in number three in its third weekend in theaters,
followed by Bad Guys Too and The Naked Gun and
good news for the box office up seven and a
half percent from this time last year.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's a big deal, all right.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Next up on the run, cool history came out of
those devastating floods in Texas last month. All that floodwater
washed away enough sediment sediment in Travis County it made
it possible to discover dina tracks.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You go back to a Texas accident, I did a
little bit there.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Enough of that sentiment get moved round.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Need cement truck to pull all that stuff out. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The Sheriff's office down there says volunteers found these dinosaur
tracks last week on private property. They found at least
fifteen of them each measures between eighteen to twenty inches.
The locals aren't relying on their own layman's knowledge of
dinosaurs for this information. They actually did bring in paleontologists
who confirmed the prince and said they date back one
(16:32):
hundred and fifteen million years.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
They even went as far as identifying what type of
dinosaur it was. I'll give this a college try.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Here.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It was a thirty five foot carnivore similar to and
a krakenthosaurus.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Do you have a better way of saying that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Acrocanthosaurus.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
There you go. That sounds good, more correct.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I had to breathe for a second.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well, thank you, thank God for you. Other prints might
belong to a Poluxisaurus.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
There you go. According that's the official state dinosaur of Texas.
In case you were wondering.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Okay, am I the only one that had no idea
that states have official dinosa.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I knew they had official birds, yes, but not dinosaurs states.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Most of them have this. I had no idea because
they discovered some dinosaur in that state and they have
an official Ours is the Arkansaurus. I kid you, not
in New York, in Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Okay, that makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
When you said hours, I was like, wait, what why
would that you'd have an Arkansas connection to your dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Okay, got go find a leg of the run.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Let's move on.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well. President Trump continues to freshen up the place. He
hasn't been shy a all about putting his own touches
on the White House. The rollers gardens got renovations, a
new ballroom has just been announced, and now he's moved some.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Artwork around, namely a portrait of former President Barack Obama.
It's now been relocated to a much, much, much less
prominent place in the White Else It used to be
displayed in the grand entryway to the White House, where
thousands of visitors passed by it each and every day.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
So the Obama portrait now has been relocated to the
top of the Grand staircase. That sounds like a nice position.
It does right top with the Grand staircase, but it's
in a secure area that's only accessible for secret service,
first family, and some staff. So nobody in the public
is going to get to see this thing. So protocol
and precedent, as they say, determines that the most recent
(18:27):
presidents get the most prominent spots. Portraits of both former
President Bush were also relocated to less prominent positions.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Former President Biden's official White House portrait is not ready yet,
but can't wait to see where Trump might put that one.
By the way, just out of curiosity, what replaced the
Obama portrait and that very prominent position at the White
House entry that thousands of visitors see each and every day.
Which one is it?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's the portrait of him with his fists in the
air being whisked away by Secret Service after that assassination
attempt in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Blood on his face, coming out of his ear.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
That one the power. It's there, fist up in the air.
That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Very very It's a really prominent spot when you walk
in the Whitehouse, and that's what's there now. But all right,
on this Monday, something we would like for you to
consider as you go about your Monday. It's our quote
of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Be miserable or motivate yourself whatever has to be done.
It's always your choice, is bro You know what, I
actually found this in Monday morning quotes because you know,
maybe Monday you're it sets the tone for the rest
of the week.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
This comes from Wayne Dyer. An amazing, amazing I.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Don't know if he's a philosopher, but he's certainly a
self help guru that a lot of folks, and he's
since passed, but a lot of folks today that you hear,
use his words and his wisdom in part of their teachings,
and so he always has some wonderful nuggets to think on.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
What if you'd go about your day with that quote, Yeah,
be miserable, motivate yourself, whatever has to be done. It's
always your choice. Thank you for that, mister Wayne Dyer.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Love that all right, and we also want to thank
you for listening. But before we let you go, want
to direct you. If you have a chance today, jump
onto Yahoo, go to the Live section and our weekly
relationship advice colin. A new one is out today, as
it is every Monday, and this week our reader writes
in that he's in his thirties, never had a meaningful
(20:27):
relationship despite putting himself out there for years, he says
he always gets friend zoned. Does that sound familiar? Well, anyway,
as love just keeps passing him by, he asks us
what he can do. So we'd love for you to
read it, check out our advice, and then feel free
to leave a comment with your advice because we'll feature
that in.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
A podcast later this week.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So thank you for listening to all of that, and
thank you for running with us on this Monday.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm Amy Robot and on TJ.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Holmes. We'll see y'all soon.
